Rightly Dividing the Word of God #2

With just a little help, anyone with average intelligence can be a good Bible student. A few guidelines will help. The Lord said through Paul in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, “Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for instruction which is in righteousness: that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.”

Although Scripture is written by men, the first thing to remember is that it is inspired of God. Therefore, it is without mistake.  Also from this Scripture, we learn that we are furnished completely unto all good works. Essentially the same thing appears in 2 Peter 1:3, which reads, “Seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all this that pertain unto life and godliness, through knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue.” Since we have all things that pertain to life and godliness in the Scripture, we need to realize this and use the Bible as our sole source to guide us in the Christian way of life.
